Engineering Guidance
Choose polarization optics around wavelength and axis control
Polarization behavior
Polarization performance is tied to wavelength, orientation and retardance or extinction data. Mount the optic with its active axis and coated faces identified.
Selection and alignment
Choose the exact wavelength version, usable incidence angle and clear aperture; compare transmission and extinction performance for the target band.
Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
